What version control tool(s) do you use?

There isn't any (as far as I know) GUI for it on windows. But the programming laptop has cygwin with git installed.

I hadn't heard of Git before. It looks interresting, but if I want a Linux based soluition I would just run SVN.

I've just discovered another issue with running most of this soluitions mentioned in this thread. Appearently our school has locked all ports, except 80, so we can't even use any of the existing tools I know of.

I wouldn't say it is Linux based, it was just made by Linus, and the tools haven't been ported (besides cygwin and msysgit).

We had a problem with only having ports 80/443 and CAD. We wanted a centralized CAD server that we could access from wherever, but that didn't pan out (so we set up a small network of our CAD computers when we work on that.) Apache has an SVN thing, which works on port 80, but I'm not sure about its limitations. I like Git because it doesn't have to be centralized. Just go into a directory, `git --init`, and you're set. If you do make it centralized so you don't have to do it sneakernet, you can have a cool web interface like this: http://repo.or.cz/ . Can't show you ours, because of Kevin's code. *shrugs*

Ok, Linux based probably wasn't the best term, but I don't own any Linux boxes and really have almost no experiance with Linux. I can get around in linux, but i know Windows. If it doesn't have decent Windows servers and tools then I'm not going to use it.

I already plan to have our own network setup for the season. I could have a local machine hosting something, but I want to be able to access our repository remotely and the school network too locked down to do that.

I like SVN, but at this poit I need somthing that gets along with IIS since I'm already hosting websites at my house. If I could find a way to get both my hosting virtual machine, and an SVN virtual machine on port 80 with the same public IP, then I'd be happy with Apache/SVN/TortoiseSVN, but as far as I know I can't do that.

The Linux tools work on Windows, if you can use the command line, you can use them them. Then again, it's all preference, I don't like things that require using my mouse...

Does anyone else use Git?


Oh, and that reminds me, (and isn't important enough for its own topic), is there a GUIless uploader for windows?

Voltage 386 uses a CVSNT with Tortise solution for their software and website code. Works brilliantly! I've since convinced the higher-ups at my office to move their SourceSafe (really bad, I know) repositories to CVS.

We're just starting out with it, so I can't totally vouch for it, but it looks promising. It's totally free for small groups!

Also, not sure if it requires anything other than port 80, but it is all web-based, so you might be okay.

Oh - and you can make your space totally private, if you so desire (or if you're using Kevin's code )
